Double down, split, or hit. Just don't go bust. When an old Spanish card game came to
America, casinos offered a bonus payout if the player's hand consisted of the ace of spades and a black jack. The name stuck.

Never played before? Blackjack is a card game between you and the dealer. Your goal is to "beat the dealer" not the other players at the table. You beat the dealer by having a higher score than the dealer up to 21. Scoring higher than 21—"going bust"—results in a loss. Scoring 21 in your first two cards, well, that's a Blackjack!

Poker on the casino floor differs from poker in the poker room. On the floor, we play a variant called Pai Gow poker.

Never played before? In Pai Gow poker you play against the dealer or "banker." Your goal is to create two winning poker hands out of the seven-card hand you are dealt: a "high" five-card and a "low" two-card hand. If each hand beats the banker's, you win. If only one of your hands beats the banker, then you "push" or tie and neither wins the bet. If both of your hands lose to the banker, game over.

Craps is a fast-paced, casino favorite. You stake your bet on the outcome of a roll of dice.

Never played before? Players take turns rolling two dice as the "shooter." A basic bet is whether the shooter will "pass" the round, or not. Each round has two phases: "come-out" and "point." A come-out roll of 2, 3 or 12 is "craps" and the shooter is out. A come-out roll of 7 or 11 is a "natural" and the shooter passes.

Get to the point. If the shooter rolls anything else on the come-out roll, this establishes the "point." To pass now, the point number must be rolled again before rolling a seven. If the shooter "hits" the point value again before a seven, the pass line wins. Otherwise, the shooter loses in a "seven-out."

Mississippi Stud is a five-card poker game that lets you bet up to 10 units on a single hand. In Mississippi Stud, you compete against a paytable, not against the dealer, and you win if your hand is a pair of jacks or better. The top payout is 500 to 1 for a royal flush--and it pays on all bets! It also features an optional 3 Card Bonus side bet.

Getting Started
Make an ante bet to receive your first two cards. The dealer will place three community cards face down in the middle of the layout.

Play or Fold?
At this point, you may either fold or make the 3rd Street bet of 1x-3x your ante. The dealer then reveals the first community card. Once you see the first community card, you have a choice: fold or make the 4th Street bet of 1x-3x your ante. The dealer then reveals the second community card. Once again, you can fold or stay in the game by making the 5th Street bet from 1x-3x your ante.

Note: When you fold, you forfeit your ante and any additional main game bets placed. The three card bonus bet remains in action until the three community cards are exposed.

Winning and Losing
After the dealer turn over the final community card, he resolves all wagers left in action. You win if your five-card hand is a pair of jacks or better (Pairs of 6s-10s push). See paytable for odds.

3 Card Bonus Optional Side Bet
You may make the optional 3 Card Bonus bet in addition to your standard Mississippi Stud wager. At the casino's discretion, you may bet more on this bonus than on the three community cards. If the three community cards contain a pair or better, your 3 Card bonus bet wins.
